If you’ve ever wandered through a neighborhood and found yourself stopped in your tracks, mouth agape, by the sight of a bright orange garage, you’re not alone!
Painting it orange was probably an impulsive and bold decision of the homeowner, a misguided attempt to create a ”statement piece” or maybe even a result of a paint sale gone wrong!
Whatever the reason, these fiery, pumpkin-colored car fortresses deserve some attention. Orange garages aren’t an oddity, but a declaration of boldness and audacity!
They deserve our attention and they certainly know how to grab it!
Stay tuned and let’s find out how you can transform your garage into an orange haven!
1. A Pop of Color in the City
An orange garage will definitely stand out in a city overcome by grayness. Make the exterior of your home more interesting and you’re guaranteed to make a stranger smile!
2. Orange and Green
Orange is a very bold color, so if you’re not ready to commit to it fully, you can always calm it down with muted earthy tones, especially green!
3. Orange and White
By airing these two colors you’ll create a nice contrast on your home! The best way would be to pair a white garage door with orange paint on the walls!
4. Commit To the Orange
However, if you’re ready to commit then stack up on those paint cans and put in some elbow grease! An orange garage can look stunning all year round!
It will match nicely with spring colors, summer welcomes orange hues, during fall it will shine the brightest and when winter comes it will be a shiny beacon among the white snowflakes!
5. Open a Bar!
If you have a garage that’s basically on the street, why not open a bar? The orange will make it stand out and it will draw customers in!
Even if you don’t have time to start a business, make a bar for your family and friends!
6. Orange Details
Some people aren’t too big on boldness, but they want to have a space that’s stylish. Orange can be an intimidating color and not everyone’s a fan of it and that’s fine!
Spruce up your space by adding orange accents here and there, either through doors, windows, or decor!
7. Teen Hangout
If you just don’t know what to do with an empty garage space, turn it into a hangout spot! Teens love to have a space where they can congregate and hang out without mom’s prying eyes!
Orange is a great color for these types of spaces since it is bright, bold, and youthful!
8. Converted Bedroom
There are so many ways you can transform a garage! It doesn’t always have to be car storage!
An orange garage converted into a bedroom is perfect for your teen who wants privacy or for your young adult who wants to move out but doesn’t have the funds!
9. Mini Guest Home
Without much fuss, you can turn your massive garage into a mini guest home. Guest apartment if you will! If you do this you can rent the space or just use it as extra living space!
Orange will make the space feel fun and cozy and distract from the fact that this was once a garage!
10. Luxury Orange
We most often associate the color orange with older things or with childish spaces, but orange can be luxurious too!
If you take care of your orange garage it will remain high-end and shiny!
11. Go Vintage
This is probably the best style for an orange garage! Vintage garages come with plenty of old plaques and checkered floors!
If you want to feel like a mechanic from the 60s, this one is all for you!
12. Neon Signs
Neon signs will give your orange garage more color and depth, along with that nice ambiance light! This is a space where you’ll be able to work on your vintage car in peace!
13. Orange Car!
If you want to make your garage even more orange, get an orange car! Or at least get a paint job done on the car you already have!
Anything can be an accessory!
14. Orange and Blue
This is a color combination you can’t go wrong with! Orange and blue are complementary colors and they go smoothly together like butter on a pan!
15. Monochrome Moment
If you’re someone who likes to go all out and you’ve been looking to transform your home, go for an all-orange everything!
Just beware, if you paint your whole house orange, your garage won’t stick out!
16. Orange and Black
This color combo might be a bit harder to style than blue and orange, but when done well it sure does look amazing! They are mostly used together when you want to tone one down.
In this picture, the garage door is a bit broken up by the black stripes, but not too much so as to not overpower the orange!
17. Game Room!
Another conversion that your son might be very happy about! A game room is perfect for storing all unnecessary electronics and board games you’ve been hiding away anywhere you can!
Orange will go nicely with this room theme since it can tie most of the other colors as well!
18. Open Up a Shop
If you own a garage space in the city and you aren’t using it for anything, open up a shop! The orange will greatly contrast against the city gray and people will flock to your shop!
It would be like the light at the end of the tunnel, waiting with a warm, orange embrace!
